DNA negative after 2 years without medication.

I am 30 and have been diagnosed with hepatitis b 14 years back. Recently I went through a full checkup with the consultation my physician.

It shows:

DNA (PCR): undetected
HBeAg: Negative (sample rate (0.34; cut off :1)
Anti Hbe/HebAb: Reactive (sample 0.02; cut off:1)
HBsAg: Reactive (sample 2660; cut off 1)
Alt: 15 U/L

Two years back I went through the same diagnostic which shows:

HBV- DNA: 314 (IU/mL)
ALT (SGPT): 20
HBS AG: Positive
HBe Ag: Negative ( sample rate 0.37; cut off rate 1.20)
Anti HBe: Positive ( sample rate 15.7; cut off rate 1.20)

Please tell me, am I completely cured since DNA status is undetected?
should I take medication?

For your information, I have never gone through medication for Hepatitis B.

No, you are still affected by hbv as your hbsag still positive. However, good new is that you are in inactive phase. No medication is needed, just monitor your hbv every 6 months. Good luck.

How does it become negative and what is inactive phase? Does it mean i am not contagious anymore?
Any person with hbsag is always contagious to other people irrespective of the DNA load or other markers. Inactive phase means ur liver is at minimal risk of harm by hbv and u can live like a healthy being without medication. But keep checking ur tests annually
